HCSO searching for accused child molester

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's assistance in locating a man wanted in connection to the sexual battery of a juvenile.
 
On September 26, 2019, a child under the age of 12 disclosed that Stephan Corzo, 29, had been sexually battering her for five years. After the suspect was interviewed and released, he contacted a relative in Orlando, Florida, admitted to the sexual battery and asked for help fleeing the state. After his request was denied, he was not heard from or seen until this morning.
 
Corzo was seen around 5 a.m., on December 27, 2019, in the area of 4000 Northdale Boulevard, wearing black pants, no shirt and a black beanie. Patrol responded but was unable to locate him.
 
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at (813)-247-8200.
